Let's play outside...in our dirt backyard

Sadly with summer here, we don't have a backyard yet to enjoy. I know it has been hard on the kids because they want to go out and play but with having cement work, sprinklers installed, etc., I can't let them in the backyard since usually there is equipment out there from continuous work getting done. Finally we have a break for a couple days so yesterday we played for a little while in the backyard hanging out on the patio riding bikes and making a mess in the dirt. The worst thing is all the flags in the dirt marking the sprinklers. I felt like a broken record telling Brandon to not pull out the flags. I got so tired of walking behind him putting all the flags back that I had enough and we headed back into the house. I'll be so ready to have grass since my floor is never clean with dirt prints showing up every time someone goes outside. I just hope that when we are finally ready to get grass, it won't be to late with the hot temperatures!!
